Kalyn's Kitchen Picks: Whole Grain Flat-Out Flatbread with Flax

A few weeks ago I wrote about using this Flatout Multi-Grain Flatbread to make South Beach Diet Friendly Flatbread Pizza. Since then I've been loving this flatbread so much I decided it belongs in Kalyn's Kitchen Picks, the collection of products I love and rave about on the blog. And I do love this flatbread, and not only because it's made with 100% stone ground whole wheat, has lots of fiber, very little fat or sugar, and is loaded with other healthful ingredients like flax seed and whole grains. Of course the flatbread makes delicious pizza (why aren't you already in the kitchen making some?) but it's got lots of other uses. This flatbread is becoming a standard item in my freezer, so I thought I'd share a few ideas I had for using it.

(Edit - I felt I should clarify that I am spotlighting only the Whole Grain Flatbread with flax, although this company makes several other very good products. You can get more information about Flatout flatbreads at their website. If you're a South Beach Dieter, be advised that not all their products use whole wheat flour, although many do. Read the label to be sure it says "whole wheat flour.")

Flatbread Ideas From Other Bloggers:
(Recipes from other blogs may not always be South Beach Diet friendly; check ingredients.)

Maris, I love that white bean and artichoke dip! Do hope you will try it.

Christine and Amber, I haven't seen it at Costco (and no TJ in Utah.) I can find it at Smiths and Albertson's here, and maybe other stores, but those are the two main grocery stores where I shop. Amber, at my Smiths (Kroger) it's $3.00 for a pack of 6, and they're pretty large flatbreads.

Thanks for the great ideas! I buy those at Costco and I like to use them to make baked burritos. I put about a cup total of brown rice, black beans, salsa and cheese, fold over the ends and roll it up. Then you just bake it in the oven until the outsides are crispy and serve it with more salsa.

Thanks to people for sharing where you get them! I was feeling very jealous that my Costco didn't have them, but then I realized that I never buy bread at Costco, so maybe they're there and I just missed them. If not I'm going to ask my Costco to carry them.

I love these flat outs! I discovered them when my husband and I started SB in September. He refused to give up his lunch sandwich and lettuce wraps were not good enough. I use these to wrap up his sandwich. He likes the italian flavor the best. I buy them at SuperTarget.

Hi Kalyn, love your blog! I get the flatbread at Costco and freeze most of it since you get multiple packages. I usually use it to make quesadillas or breakfast tacos. I also use it to make lunch wraps. BTW, I only recently discovered your blog in early January when I decided to go back on Phase 1 after not having done South Beach in 5 years. What a great resource you have been. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing this - I desperately needed a break from all of the quilt show stuff I've been dealing with so I came to your blog and had myself a great time! I think I've printed out about 14 recipes...today you were my life saver so thanks!!! xoxo, Nan

You can get more information about Flatout flatbreads at their website. If you're a South Beach Dieter, be advised that not all their products use whole wheat flour, although many do. Read the label to be sure it says "whole wheat flour." (I'm also going to add this information in the main post so people don't get confused.)

I appreciate hearing from people who like this product. However, I can't let people leave comments recommending other types of flatbread. I hope no one is offended by this, but when I get a comment that recommends a product that's different than the one I'm talking about, there's no way for me to know if it's left by someone who's a regular reader or by someone who's a representative of the company making that product. If I let people leave comments like that "advertising" other products or websites where products are sold, my blog will be overwhelmed with those types of comments.

I'm so happy you're taking the time to comment on Kalyn's Kitchen! I love hearing from people who stop by, especially if you're sharing feedback or asking questions about a recipe I've posted here.

I've recently changed my comment settings so people can comment without signing in, but you will need to check the box to show you're a live person, and comments on older posts won't show up until I publish them. Thanks for understanding!

Food Blogger Love!
